Is it normal to fart on your period?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—farting during your period is normal, and you may notice more gas than usual. Hormone changes can affect your digestion, too.

Your period can bring changes to your gut as well as your uterus. Hormone shifts and prostaglandins may affect how quickly things move through your digestive system, which can mean more gas, bloating, or bathroom trips.

It varies from person to person and from cycle to cycle, but it’s a common, unglamorous period side effect. If the gas comes with severe pain or a sudden, lasting change in your digestion, it’s worth checking in with a healthcare professional.
